General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Tortoise Media have done a total history and breakdown of this horrible arsehole. Recommend

The fact it's taken until 2021 is pretty suspect, he's been blatantly dodgy for years. Exactly the kind of person I'd look at if I were a tax inspector or regulator.

Problem is he's lost so much money by being a bad hedge fund manager that the two times his gambles have paid off are massively outweighed by his years of losses

It's a close tie between him and the haunted pencil Rees Mogg for the worst fund manager of the century

Maybe should have gone the corruption route like their mates!
